Why? Because they’re creamier and tastier than the standard pinto beans in Mexican food. Just cook them in water only, adding salt 30 minutes before they’re done.

One other comment: Unless you have freshly shelled cranberry / borsotti beans, it’s unlikely 20 minutes will be enough time to cook them. The dried beans take several hours.
